Superlux HD660
Short Impression


After owning both HD681 and HD668B for quite a some time, I’ve been wonder regarding the rest of superlux products such as HD660 and HD330. They look pretty much identical with beyerdynamics headphones especially the HD660 where it looks exactly like the beyerdynamics DT770 pro. The price different is obviously large hence the question pops on whatever it actually performs the same with the DT770? Regardless HD660 has it’s own merits through. For female vocal lovers out there, this would be the best headphone you ever own at RM150 price range.

HD660 is a closed design headphone. Allowing you to be isolated from outside noise


Unlike any other superlux headphones that I received so far, this one comes along with a solid, black colored headphone case which is pretty useful for portability purposes during travel. Inside contains the 3.5mm to 6.3mm plug audio adapter and the HD660 itself. Another unique feature for HD660 is that coiled cable are being used on it instead of regular straight cable that you normally get with the HD668B or the HD669. Coiled type cable did give some benefits over the straight ones through. One of them is that it prevents the wire to be clogged up whatever you’re listening to music,etc. However the cable on HD660 is undetachable unlike the ones from HD668B and HD669, meaning that you need to be extra careful on using the HD660 otherwise it would be difficult to fix it up whenever the cable issues comes up. By the time of writing, the HD660 has been burned in no less than 50 hours which personally I think it’s sufficient enough to show the readers out there what HD660 can perform on various genre of music out there.

HD660 uses coiled cable unlike other superlux product which uses detachable straight cable instead.


I start off by listening to “SAKURA” by Monkey Majik. I found out that the vocalist sounds really sweet with this headphone. The sound separation between the vocalist and the musical instrument is clearly noticeable for the most part. Clarity wise, comparing with the superlux HD668B, isn’t that but the differences are pretty small to say the least. The bass is shallow to me taste through, but the sweet mids alone already covers off the lacking that I find throughout the song is playing.

Next would be “Fly Me To The Moon” by Olivia Ong. The mids sound very sweet and forwarded as well, way better then what I experienced earlier with “SAKURA”. The acoustic detail is clearly noticeable especially during the guitar solo performance being played at that time. The soundstage is pretty narrow to me through. The only good explanation for this is because HD660 is actually a closed design headphone. In theory the soundstage it produces would be smaller compared to the likes of semi-open and full opened headphones such as HD668B hence the reason why I’m experiencing this with the HD660. Minor sibilant can be heard from time to time though but that doesn’t actually ruin the great listening moment that I had with the HD660.

My only main concern on HD660 is that among any superlux products I tried so far, this includes HD681, HD688B and the HD699, HD660 produces the least bass which certainly will not entertain you when comes to any bass oriented songs you came across to. This reminds me of the Audio Technica ATH-AD700 which can produce the best mids you can find at it’s price range while at the same time I find that it lacks bass which is needed in some songs I usually listened to.

I did tried two of my headphone amplifier available at that time, the internal amp you found on the the maverick D1 and also darkvoice THA332 tube amp on the HD660. I do find out that with darkvoice it gives an improvement on the bass impact and a hell lot on the mids as well. On another hand however, the ones from maverick D1 give insignificant improvement to the HD660 which through this I can conclude that a more powerful headphone amp is needed to drive the HD660 to it’s real potential.

Overall, I do think that the HD660 is pretty satisfying to listen to especially if you’re an avid vocal jazz listener where the headphone performs best at. I do surprise that such a closed design headphone could produce such a low amount of bass, an opposite on what any other closed design headphone can do such as the beyerdynamic DT770. However this is how HD660 performs right now. I do believe that with a longer burn-in process, the sound signature would change to a degree that it might solve that bass shy problem that the HD660 suffers right now.

P/S : A big thanks to Trio for lending his HD660 for couple of days for this article. Also note that the article has been collecting dust since last year hence the reason why I didn't use the objective 2 headphone amplifier to test it out with the HD660.

I think you should post reviews and also update userlist ...

I would actually appreciate it if you at least inform/ask me first to open the V2. I dont mind anyone becoming the TS since I am too busy anyway.

BUT, I feel that it would be more appropriate for someone that contributed more in the previous fan club and still own and using superlux(not to mention for a long period and multiple model) to be the new TS.

As I said in my previous pm, which you also quoted(apparently you didnt read what you quoted), so I shall repeat myself, I dont mind anyone taking over but it IS ONLY appropriate for someone that contributed more in the previous fan club and still own and using superlux(not to mention for a long period and multiple model) to be the new TS.

You only own a superlux for how long before selling it out? How many models have you tested? Are you even a fan of superlux itself in the first place? What did you contributed other than occasional rare post?

I was being neutral and suggestive for the better in my previous post but apparently you replied with offensive tone. Yes I did not update the front page but I tested every single model out there that is available in Malaysia so I can assist everyone as most people confused with so many models. I never answer anyone that asked anything in fan thread through pm to get their sales but in the thread itself to share with everyone. I even used my own money to buy units to borrow to people to review and test to create awareness to public here without asking for credits or advertising/promoting me(before you say it is for my own sales as I am only one of the many reseller).

What have you done? There is a lot of real fans that also contributed a lot in previous fan thread that should be the next TS other than me.

there is no such thing as you need to use superlux to create a superlux thread, even if i cant give solutions to any of superlux questions, but at least i took the liberty to make a thread when nobody did, you can nag all you want, but what is done is done, nothing you can do bout it

I did not say it is a must. I used the word appropriate twice. If you know you couldnt contribute anything you should have just wait for someone that did and could to create it? But from the timing, it seems that you created almost immediately after mod closed. More like you finally saw a chance to own a thread and quickly open one? Hehe are you happy and satisfied now? Gratz>:D

Being a ts is just a small thing. A fan thread is meant to gather all the users and supporters together and provide a place for ppl to discuss on it. I only said so much because I just solely couldnt stand seeing your bad attitude. Irresponsible and without respect for others. You could have just wrote in good words. I didnt intend nor want to make a ruckus earlier. I only got riled up after seeing your reply that carries a bad tone. It doesnt matter to me who is the TS as long as I can share and provide ppl with good and cheap bang for buck headphones to truly enjoy their music.

No wonder lyn forum got so many disputes. Typical...

Nice review. I have always wanted to know more about HD660. Mike from Headfonia prefers it over HD440.

Im curious about the sweet mids  wub.gif drool.gif

Worth to note that HD440 has unmistakably decent amount of bass. In fact, I might go towards saying the bass is good in mid-to-upper regions. You have to try it someday. Headfonia said its different from conventional Superlux sound sig. But I think it still retains the clear and bright trebles (good quality treble). I think HD660 can use amping with bass boost feature? That could make it shine much better

HD660 seriously need amping, bass amount is pretty good, just still lacking in term of comfort (people with big head might have problem)

and btw, i think 660 is quite different sounding from 668B, which i think 660 is more toward mainstream

Not sure. I always thought 681 and 669 will be the one instead since HD660 only sounds great on certain genres only due to it's sound signature it produces sweat.gif

@ertai : yes it has the best mids among all the superlux headphone I tried so far. If only the bass can be a little bit stronger... sweat.gif
